Most of the work that gets a peptide store approved happens before anyone applies. The steps below are the order we walk every store through; the plugin does the technical parts, and the rest is copy and policy.
The seven steps
- Audit the copy page by page: products, categories, blog, FAQ, reviews and theme footer. Remove dosing, claims and consumer framing, and put research-use-only notices where buyers see them.
- Put a researcher gate in front of the catalog, so every visitor confirms their age and role under the notices before shopping.
- Verify buyers before their first order: a one-time code to prove the email address, then a short intended-use statement with a typed signature.
- Publish the policy pages a reviewer expects: terms of sale that state research use only, a refund policy, a shipping policy and a privacy policy.
- Install the PAYX Solutions plugin and run the first scan. It takes an afternoon, and the score shows exactly what is left to fix.
- Keep monitoring on. The scanner reads the store every 15 minutes and the live dashboard shows transactions and compliance side by side.
- Keep a person in the loop. Compliance drifts when a new product or post goes up; a team that answers around the clock keeps a small finding from becoming a closed account.
What to expect
Stores that arrive with steps one to four done typically hear back within 48 hours and are processing as soon as their merchant account is approved and the score reaches 100. Stores that arrive earlier in the process are not turned away; the fix list and our team take them the rest of the way.
